Description
St Mary's House is a house dating from around 1570, with an extension added in the early 18th century. It has two storeys and was originally built with a two-cell plan, to which a third cell was added on the right. The house features four windows and is constructed from timber framing with plaster. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and there is an axial early 17th-century chimney made of red brick with a sawtooth shaft, along with an 18th-century service chimney at the right-hand gable. The windows are mid-20th century leaded casements, and there is a mid-20th century plain-tiled porch.
The framing is fully exposed and unmoulded, with close-studding. The floor joists are unchamfered and laid flat. There are several blocked diamond-mullioned windows, one of which is now located on an internal wall in the parlour gable; this window was originally full width with seven-light sidelights and a larger central light. In the two-bay hall, there is a large cambered fireplace lintel that has been reused from a timber-framed chimney. A notable feature is an apparent cross-entry against the left-hand gable, with the rear doorway still remaining but blocked. There is no evidence that a service cell ever existed to the left. The 18th-century framing is of good quality for its period.
